Canadian Gambling: Trends and Public Policy Issues

COLIN S. CAMPBELL

GARRY J. SMITH

In this article, we trace the evolution of Canadian gambling legislation and outline the various approaches to gambling regulation and control that are currently used in Canadian jurisdictions. The nature and scope of gambling in Canada are analyzed with a primary focus on the wagering formats, gambling clientele, and revenues generated from the activity. Canadian problem gambling prevalence rates are discussed along with the programs that have been instituted to mitigate the incidence and effects of problem gambling. Several features of Canadian gambling that differ from what is offered in the United States are highlighted, the growing citizen backlash against certain forms of gambling is examined, and we conclude with a brief critique of Canadian gambling policies.
